Derek Landy's I-Scream Spectacular!*

* may not contain ice-cream.

Behold the awesome!

On April 5th, in London, as part of my tour, we are offering a day at the movies, where I will be discussing the many movie influences that have shaped my life and, more specifically, that have shaped the Demon Road trilogy.

We are breaking the day into two halves.

At 1 PM, younger readers, accompanied by an adult, can go to the Picturehouse Cinema in London and experience 80's comedy-horror classic GREMLINS on the big screen...! It'll be my first time seeing it up there too — I've only ever seen this film on TV, so I am HUGELY excited.

Desolation will be available to buy, I'll be doing a Q&A, and signing whatever you have. It's going to be FUN.


And then we'll be repeating the format at 8:30 that night, when we'll be showing the original A Nightmare on Elm Street to a STRICTLY over-18 crowd...!

Again, I was too young to see this in the movies when it came out, and as one of my all time favourite horrors, I can't wait to see this in all its glory.
Come! See Johnny Depp get blender-ised in his Bed of Death!
Naturally, anyone 18 or over can come to both movies and make a day of it — as I will be — but sadly the younger Minions can not savour the delights of Freddy Krueger — at least not until you're older...

(Hey)

Inky Flame said...

(Heyyyy
I'm sorry that was so long

I dedicate this page to Jai
She is absolutely amazing and kind and helpful ^.^

I am going to bed but I promise I'll be able to rp all day tomorrow ^.^)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*raises an eyebrow*
*looks around for this Jai person who is apparently amazing kind and helpful*
*nope, can't find her*


Don't worry about it, you've your project to finish. Sleep well!)

Star- I'm posting this because I figure that, after my email to you, this would be a good PSA for everyone, a little about me.

So clearly a lot of people have qualms with me. That isn't news to me. But I'm just mentioning this now, that, being who I am, one of the worst feelings in the world is when I don't know how people feel about me. I hate not knowing if someone likes me, or if they hate me. And, if the latter, why that's so. I don't know why, maybe it's because I am sometimes cautious to trust people who might not want that.

I do know for sure that I like to know, so that I can change myself, should I agree with the problem had between me and another.

I dunno. I mean, I don't really LOVE being cursed out and called a bitch or whore or anything, but at least I know...

I don't know, I don't suppose it's important either. I just thought to mention

Noelle said...

I keep reading a lot about Tilikum in the media.
This will sound terrible, but I hope that this illness will be enough to kill him, otherwise I hope they free him. That poor creature has been in captivity for, what, like 20-30 years? In that one, small enclosure? He's sired about 20 kids, I think, and is just horribly mistreated. The size of hai tank is .0001 (.001?) percent the size of what the average length a killer whale would swim in a single /day/.

That's like putting a human in a 10x10 room for 40 years, every once in a while making them have sex with someone to procreate.

Like.

The poor, poor, thing... And it's very unfortunate that he is ill, but I do find solace in that, should he pass away, he will be free from the abuse which he suffers.

:/ I wish they would just let him go. But I doubt he knows how to survive on his own anymore

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Noelle, I may have said this before I honestly think you are awesome and I really like you.

Just FYI.

*hugs* :)


And it's so sad... :'(

Inky Flame said...

(*ja dressed like a hippy*)

Star Inkbright said...

Oh my gosh I just opened Blogger on my laptop for the first time in a few days so I can see you all now without zooming in and Chloe your profile picture is BEAUTIFUL.

@Noelle: :/ We (humankind in general) do treat animals awfully . . . it's really horrifying and inexcuseable. :/

and re.: above that
I would also much rather know if people disliked me, personally, but I'm not very good at telling people when I do dislike them. Actually, I'm completely shit at showing when I dislike people. It's definitely something I want to get better at; I've learnt that pretending to like people causes nothing but pain all round. -_-
Either way. I think you're a lovely person so it's alright. :)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

("Human blood is about 55 per cent salty water, and about 45 per cent cells - overwhelmingly red blood cells with a tiny sprinkling of white blood cells and the like. The red blood cells give blood its red colour. The salty water, called plasma, is a clear slightly yellowish liquid, with high levels of sodium, low levels of potassium, and trace amounts of other minerals. Genuine intravenous fluids are manufactured to have high sodium and low potassium."

Sooooooooo.. Vampires are allergic to salt water but need blood to survive.. um..)

Inky Flame said...

(Thanks star ^.^ I loves Faeries


*waves to Jai *)

Star Inkbright said...

@Jai: *laughs* Good point.
Omg.
I've never thought of that.
(well tbh I didn't know plasma was salty soooooooo).

Star Inkbright said...

Might be like how Allomancers (Mistborn series) get awesome powers from swallowing certain types of metal, but like, if they consume, say, Pewter, it has to be "Allomancer's pewter" - exactly so much percent tin and exactly so much percent summat else (I don't know that much about metal sue me); if the percentages are too far off it'll make them ill like normal metal would. Same for if they eat non-Allomantic metals.

Inky Flame said...

(*waves to star*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*waves at Chloe*

@star but.. but.. *confused at the blood and salt problem* but.. Logic.. painful..


...I just accidentlt bit my cheek sneezing.)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

mistborn <3333333333333333333333333333333


and Jai, I never thought about that 0.0
what Star says might make sense...
i mean, they can eat salty food, right?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I don't know xD it doesn't say anything about that in the book..
What percentage of salt is salt water?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(There's about 35 grams of salt per litre of salt water...

Um..
How many grams is a litre of water?)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

the online converter says 1,000

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

we don't use liters very much sooo...

Inky Flame said...

(*glomps everyone*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Google says 1000 grams.

so 35/1000 = 0.035..
So sea water is 3.5% salt.

And blood is 55% salty water.
But how much of THAT water is salt? It just says high levels.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Lets presume high levels is, what, 75%?
So 75% of 55% is 41.25%

So salt water = 3.5%
Blood = 41.25%

Um...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*slowly hugs Chloe*
*frowns at maths*)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

maybe the cells in the blood do something to counteract all the salt?
I don't really know what I'm talking about >.<

*is glomped*
*hugs Chloe back*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Maybe the salt in the blood plus the salt in the water is too much when put together?

Or maybe there was actually a lurking variable and it isn't the salt in sea water that does it?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Okay, so lets presume the red blood cells are what provide nutrients to the vampires.
*is legitimately getting a little flustered at this*
So maybe the white blood cells would counter the salt, since an allergic reaction is white blood cells trying to defend the body and releasing hormones which damage the body.
Maybe the white blood cells that are drunken counter the hormones released by the vampiric white blood cells..)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(But seawater is just brine and water..)

Inky Flame said...

(I hate math)

Star Inkbright said...

Well, chlorine gas is the mustard gas they used to use in the trenches but when combined with sodium, chlorine is table salt. The plasma might just have different properties to ordinary salt water.
And FYI the plasma transmits all kinds of nutrients around the body like hormones and glucose (that's sugar) so I can see how it rould be nutritious.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(In which case I just don't know..)

Inky Flame said...

(maybe pure salt water is fatal but the body can handle it when it's ingested via blood and then it gets broken down into non toxic components?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Maybe.. *looks confuzzled*



Want to continue the rp Chloe?)

Inky Flame said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *shifts position and sits up for her*

Valnum: *walks into the nursery*
You can change now.

Inky Flame said...

Clocky, *sits behind him and massages his shoulders*

Clocky: okay, can you hold Xander?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *groans, sighing happily, leaning back into her hands, closing his eyes*

Valnum: Um.. sure...
*looks at the small child*

Inky Flame said...

Clocky: nice? *continues*

Xander: *gurggles and holds out hands *

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Valnum: Hello small.. child..

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

It's a storm that's characterized by really heavy winds? There've been a bunch in the general area lately, but this is the first to hit us.

I hope we don't lose any more trees. :-/

Inky Flame said...

Clocky: *stops* better?

Xander: *chews his fist*

Suki: *comes back*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Trees are important.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: Yeahhhhhh
*smiles, relaxing more*
*rubs his arm slightly*


Valnum: That isn't food mister..

Inky Flame said...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Sleep well, Chloe.

Well, if you think about it, Derek's vampires are kinda the only ones who are allergic to salt/salt water? Cause I only ever heard that vampires can't eat garlic, and drink/touch? holy water(at least it's their main weakness). I'm not sure what other kind of vampire is allergic to salt.

DEREK, YOU FORGOT TO DO YOUR RESEARCH. XP

[Fabi crouches near the metal bunny, not sure if she can turn it back without killing it]

[She's made metal animals before (think back to the binding snakes), but they were machines from the beginning, never properly "alive." She's never turned a living thing to metal before.]

[Well... Besides Ami. But she really, really, doesn't want to go there.]

[And herself. Technically, she's been turning herself into metal. She's been trying not to, but maybe it would be the wiser course of action. Maybe it would prevent these random releases of pent-up energy.]


Celery? :D

Why you say word that sounds like celery and then no give celery? :-|???

[She sighs, wishing she could explain the situation to it and ask it whether or not it would prefer to be made of metal]

[She settles for offering it the lettuce from the sandwich she'd been too anxious to eat for dinner. It seems to like that well enough]

Maybe not celery, but yummy leaves! :)

Silver human is friend now because it gave me celery and did shiny trick. Maybe I learn shiny trick and steal human secrets to getting infinite plant foods. :DDD

*sighs* speaking of typing chapters up, I need to type mine up.
I need to type it up from code though and it's like ugh hard to read. It's like you ahve to work out what each word is by sounding out all the letters and trying to string them together in your head. It's like goign back to primary school. :P WRiting in code is so much easier than reading it . . .

Noelle said...

I'm actually a little proud of myself.

I managed to kill my craving for my favorite restaurant (that has really fattening food), and instead went home and ran for 3.5 miles...

Burned about 630 calories.

It was a productive day.

Chione Asahina said...

Good for you Noelle. Wish i could be productive with my life. Instead i was dying from walking up a flight of stairs. I should just fall down them and break my neck next time.

Noelle said...

It's something you have to work up to, I think...

I also think that if you do a little a day, you will be able to do it :)

I enjoy working out, I really do; I just turn on YouTube and watch nanners as a do so. I also have severe exercise induced asthma, so I understand the dying bit. But no one can wake up one day and go: "I'm going to run a marathon". It takes time to work up to it, but it is possible. I set myself reminders every thirty minutes in the day to be mindful of what I'm doing and eating- just because I need to.

*nod*

*Is trying REALLY hard to not order food online* *Looks so good* *But is doing well*

It's really hard..

Also, Aretha isn't here this week, so I don't have anything to do. So I'm just focusing a LOT on my body and getting it to a nicer size and stuff

"but there are literally trillions of possibilities
and going through them all would be so much effort"
"Well maybe they're ALL correct!!"
"but how can they be all correct"
"Well maybe there are multiple universes!!"

I swear it's literally more logical to just blame everything on oppression.

oh the thing did people see the thing ? about how we can see another universe or omething I dunno I wasn't reading from my gist of it we can see space time being bent and blah blah blah space is cool = parallel universes= defo aliens. .)

Noelle said...

Now da?

Google says that means...

Goodnight?
What?

Noelle said...

*Nos

Star Inkbright said...

@Keiron: Oh, of course you need to prove that the other dimensions exist then. That is my point. The hole being dug here just gets deeper and deeper XD they should just claim that they can't find proof because they're being oppressed.

What thing? I don't think seeing space time being bent necessarily equates to seeing another universe.

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: Yeah, "nos da" means goodnight . . .

*frowns* maybe Chloe typoed?

Kai The Immortal said...

( It does mean that. I'm guessing she went to bed? )

Noelle said...

Oh wait. Time zones. Right

Star Inkbright said...

(And tbh I think discovering aliens would be rather terrifying. Much cooler to prove that the world is made of strings.)

Noelle said...

No, she was wishin me good night- but it's afternoon here- that's why I was confused. But then I realized that it's night there

Star Inkbright said...

But why'd she said "goodnight" right before asking "How are you?" . . . ?

*frowns* *looks confused*

Star Inkbright said...

Am I behind on my "goodnight" ettiquette? Because in my experience people only say "goodnight" when they mean "I'm off to bed now night night :)" or "you're going to bed now night night :)", not before starting a converastion . . .

eh nm.

Noelle said...

It's like "good afternoon"

But it's not afternoon xD

Noelle said...

Good night can be both a salutation and a farewell :)

Star Inkbright said...

Oh.

Apparently I AM behind on my "goodnight" ettiquette.

Well, the more you know.

*mentally stores information for the next time someone salutates me by wishing me a good night*

Kai The Immortal said...

( this thing star )

Noelle said...

Aliens are 100% real..

*Doesnt know if she trusts the link* *Not because of Keiron, but because it is the only article about the topic that she can see, and doesn't look like a reputable source*

Star Inkbright said...

I tend to be wary of an article that begins with "Scientists say!" because it's essentially doing the modern equivilant of "Priests say!", but alright. :P *reads*

:) Huh, that's cool.

Kai The Immortal said...

( I mean there is two possibilities that are both just as scary as each other, either we are alone in the universe or we are not. )

Star Inkbright said...

The link seems okay to me. But it has that optimism that can sometimes be seen in wild physicists theories of "well THIS is implied so therefore THIS could be possible which could potentially mean that THIS will happen omg isn't it exciting?????" :P

Star Inkbright said...

I'm pretty sure aliens exist somewhere. Hope we don't ever meet 'em. For either our sake or theirs.

Kai The Immortal said...

( Yeh I think it's reputable ... ? I mean it gives scientist names and everything but I do get what you mean star they found one thing and took it as this and ran with it )

Noelle said...

Look up the Drake Equation- it is an equation to estimate how many intelligent civilizations there may be.
The universe is so, so, so big.

If we managed to stumble into existence, why not anything else?

Kai The Immortal said...

( I believe in aliens... I mean it'd be almost impossible with all the stars with planets in the KNOWN universe never mind the UNKNOWN for there to not even be one other species )

Noelle said...

Ight, but I've never heard of the site before. And it isn't exactly new for people to make up stuff on the Internet for likes :/

Though, giving the benefit of the doubt, in scientific method, any respectable scientist would get second, third, fourth, fifth, eighteenth opinions on their findings before going public...
*Nods*

I mean, I just say that if this finding has occurred, why aren't people going crazy about it?

Star Inkbright said...

@Keiron: Yeah, it does seem reputable; they don't seem to be making up anything. Not that I'd necessarily know, but just . . . you know.

Ah, I do love it when physics turns into mathematically-fuelled optimism. <3
Mum: Why do you like physics better than chemistry?
Me: Well, because physics is ridiculous, and chemistry is much more relevant to life.
Dad who also enjoyed studying physics: *laughs as if I've said something brilliant* That's exactly it!

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: Maybe because of all the "may have"s and the "the implications of this are"s. :P

Noelle said...

I'm just saying.

Alright, I did see a Huffington Post thing about it- still, I don't know if I buy what this woman is saying

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: Yeah; not trying to mock your argument, trying to mock the article. Not in a mean way though. If that makes sense. Does that make sense. I don't think that makes sense. Oh dear.

I don't necessarily buy it in the sense that I'm not like "OH MY GOD PROOF OF PARALLEL UNIVERSES HAS ARRIVED!!", but I accept that it's a theory and a possibility, and I don't think they're just making it all up, although they're certainly suggesting their finding imply a lot. :P

Noelle said...

Well, right. And for people who are astrophysicists, they get really excited about new findings. I mean, it's like: if you walk into court believing that the defendant is guilty, then they are going to be ruled guilty.

:/ I dunno. I just like to question things, and rarely will I just read something and just be like: "yes, this is right".

I subscribe to the multiverse theory, but I don't think I subscribe to the parallel universe theory. That's a little TOO crazy... And, if one exists, the chances of it being beside ours is so small

*Shrug*

Kai The Immortal said...

( I believe in both but I... take this lightly it's not something I take completely to heart.... I think that eveyr little decision you have made has a complete opposite action and the timeline will and could be split in so many places that its not even funny for one person never mind billions going back to when this world was first created... I believe in trillions upon trillions of parallel universes... with doppelgangers that you would't even recognise )

Inky Flame said...

(Sorry! It does mean good night but it's closest thing to good evening XD
Bore da- good morning
Prynhawn da- good afternoon
Nos da- good night)

Star Inkbright said...

Yeah. I really admire the enthusiasm and optimism of these people, but I tend to express my admiration through mocking them. I'm not entirely sure that encouarging this thought pattern is healthy. *frowns* *knows self probably isn't going to do anything to prevent it* *shrugs and sets a mental remainder to self anyway*

You see, I'm naturally very liekly to subscribe to what I'm told proof; it's how my brain works. However, I am aware of this, and therefore I do try to fight against it. It still happens though.

I don't necessarily subscribe to the multiverse theory, but I accept that it could be a possibility. The parallel universe thing is a bit further down at "unlikely."

Noelle said...

Wishful thinking, perhaps.

Star Inkbright said...

^wtithout proof

Apologises.

@Chloe: :) Ah, okay. :P Hi! :)

@Keiron: :) Cool.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a physics theory (think I've briefly come across it). "Maybe every time a particle moves another particle in another timeline does an opposite movement and maybe our universe is influences by the motions of all these otehr particles in other universes" . . .

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: Yeah.

Inky Flame said...

(Shwmae!!!)

Kai The Immortal said...

( yeh :D I love this kind of science... like if I could sit in a room and theorise all day and let others find proof that'd be perfect :P )

Noelle said...

It's like that Mermaid documentary a few years ago.

Or the entire Ancient Aliens tv show.

Those, though entertaining, are complete bullshit. And that isn't an opinion- at the end of the mermaid one there was a disclaimer for like half a second that admitted that it wasn't real.


And no one on Ancient Aliena actually has a degree in anthropology


MAKES ME SO MAD

Kai The Immortal said...

(sut wyt ti?)

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* XD This isn't science, Keiron, this is philosophy. :P

But yeah. I much prefer theory to practical. Like. In order to do practicals one must GET UP OFF THEIR CHAIR. :P

Kai The Immortal said...

( shhh I'm not a wizard :P )

Inky Flame said...

(can anyone cats cradle with string?)

Noelle said...

*noelle feels sick* Oh god I might empty my stomach

Oh god
This is hell

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: *hasn't seen or heard of either of them :(*

Mmh. Like I said earlier, "because science says so" is the new "because religion says so." It's like if you can pretend that something is halfway backed up by science everyone will be like "ohmygod it must be true because SCIENCE SAID SO!" without actually looking for proof. It's like you can pull the science card to get people believing all kinds of stuff.
I guess it's human nature.

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: :( :( :( :(

@Chloe: Used to be very good at it. Haven't tried in years.

Star Inkbright said...

@Keiron: :P

Inky Flame said...

(I found some strong yesterday and have been playing with it since

OMG!!! IM TURNING INTO CHLOE THE CAT FRKM THE HOUSE OPPOSITE)

Star Inkbright said...

@Chloe: :P :P

Kai The Immortal said...

( in other news apparently big apparently Justin Bieber is in crit condition in LA hosp after a crash in his new lambo ... so sad to see a car in such a wreck )

Star Inkbright said...

@Keiron: XD XD Dude. That's high-level banter that is.

Did he actually crash? *concern*

Emerald Melody said...

evening bitches.

I have 9hrs left of download on Far Cry Primal, I've to set up my character on Blade and Soul, I've done sweet fuck all on my Minecraft because ever since the new update it has a stroke everytime I open it and I've neglected my Sims altogether.

On the upside I think I've found my reading rhythm again and I've been stitching like crazy.

Oh and I've breaking out in hives and finding it hard to breathe most days.

Thought I would let you know...

Kai The Immortal said...

( apparently...

I was being serious I have more car sympathy than I do people sympathy ... the car had no choice who was driving him ...

also in other other news misha collins face swapped with his kid and it's adorable


*is tots not procrastinating the work that has to be done for tomoz*)

Kai The Immortal said...

( breaking for me too em... thats bad em , thats good em thats worse em. hows you em?


what is my problem ^ like tf up with that sentence,,.... I need to write 200 odd words and cant ake a single sentence ... time for super coffee. )

Noelle said...

:/

Care to write, Em?

Star Inkbright said...

@Em: *nods* :/
Hi. :)

@Keiron: I just refreshed BBC news and then searched "Justin Bieber" and nothing came up.

:P The car is not a sentient being, Keiron. It doesn't have feelings.

Kai The Immortal said...

( damit... was gonna go buy whisky ... shop closes in 10 and asda stopps selling at 10... cant make super coffee without it )

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(|||||

:/

*sighs and sleeps*)

Star Inkbright said...

@Keiron: Ooooooorrrr you could refresh your mental capabilities with the awesome power of sleep. :P

Noelle said...

I think that story was back from December.

But idk
